    Dodgers are an iconic franchise that hasn't won since 1988. They will draw huge ratings

    Stros/Doyers would be the best possible World Series.

    wow.. whites are being discriminated against and Hispanics are receiving preferential treatment ? lol.
    how about Judge SUCKS? he does.. he could have caught Correa's HR.. but he was a big fat wuss,
    and was worried about hitting the wall.. he looked AWAY from the ball, and TURNED to the wall..
    extending his arm..

    and that relay throw where a brilliant Altuve scored?.. that was so slow.. he did not have the confidence
    throw really whip that ball over to Gregarious.. he had to bounce it like a girl. That takes speed off the ball.
    Cost them game

    you don't think a guy THAT SIZE should be able to reach the Shortstop from Right Center in the air..?!

    Reddick threw out Gardner with a LONGER throw, and MUCH FASTER throw over to Correa, who also
    zipped it over to 3rd.

    Didi ALSO bounced it to Home, where Sanchez dropped it. WAIT. He's Hispanic.. he's also not hitting the ball..

    i'm afraid your little dream has a few holes in it.. Judge is a pussy. He sucked against Cleveland..

    I ASSURE you, MLB is not descriminating against the Yankees. Yanks are the Dallas Cowboys of MLB

    America's Team

    I'll watch. Houston will roll, but will be nice to see the Dodgers lose. So close again. Ole Clayton will shit the bed per the usual. Hell, they may still shit the bed against the Cubs. Who knows. I want them to get their hopes up though. Ain't winning shit, but a pennant. We always remember those teams, of course. Nice participation trophy.

    Look we know you're upset that the Yanks beat Cleveland but give it a break. I'm sure you were saying the same thing about the Indians when they went up 2-0. "Oh no way the Yankees come back and win in 5". Astros have won both games by 1 run, if Yankees find their bats at home it's gonna be 2-2 series

    ???

    California and Texas TV ratings will be huge.

    You automatically get east coast markets due to "pub auduence" (no-one stays indoors to watch world series, they go to a bar).

    Only question is Midwest ratings, you likely lose Ohio, Chicago and Northern plains to college and pro football.

    It seems weird seeing Houston as AL team.

    The 1988 Astros had 5 pitchers with 10 or more wins, but we're a .500 team. No player hit .300 or had 100 rbis, yet 6 players had over 115 hits! Very odd season. 1988 Dodgers of course were blessed. Hershiser scoreless innings streak, Gibson MVP couldn't play but for 1 AB in the series!

    It'd be a great matchup, balanced teams, athletic teams and draw fair ratings.

    Fresh teams for most of America to see on the big stage for the first time!

    1) Yankees won't find their bats.

    2) Yanks won't even find their asses to wipe

    3) Altuve needed 1 PITCH to get on base vs. Chapman, who threw a 100MPH ball at Altuve

    4) Chapman won't recover manually. He's weak

    5) Judge is WEAK. Judge knows who's boss. And far superior player. ALTUVE

    6) He has already bowed to KING ALTUVE in the ALCS

    hi LB.. i hope all is well.. must disagree.. Yanks won't be dominant.. they'll win Divisions..
    but i expect they are a playoff dud.. like Houston Rockets in NBA. Judge is big and strong,
    but that's it. Not fast, not smart, not creative. not a mental leader. imo

    that strike zone on Saturday was egregious... verlander nearly bounced a ball and it was called a strike.

    i said it should be going 7

    judges strikezone is about as big as a lacrosse net right now and he still gets a lot of 3-2 counts but then has to swing at ball 4 because the zone is so fuckin big

    mlb knows they have a market in NYC no matter what they are trying to get the astros to the series no doubt. and that will happen because keuchel and verlander are coming back game 6 and 7 fresh

    shame what they did to aaron judge. the only one who truly sucks is sanchez hes terrible

    WTF? Dodgers are a media draw for ratings period this year, Houston with the hurricane and power house offensive team that they are will draw ratings as well..

    I think the ratings will be just fine if it ends up as such.. Yankees not done yet, will be pulling for Houston tonight though..
